About this service
Prepare a request for a birth certificate. The responsible registry must confirm eligibility, the details needed to find the birth record and how the certificate will be provided.
What you need
- Your identity and contact details
- Details of the person whose birth certificate is requested
- Birth record details requested by the registry
- Evidence of your authority if requesting for someone else
What you will do
- Confirm who the certificate is for
- Provide the details needed to identify the birth record
- Check your contact details and the available delivery options
- Review and submit the request when the service is available
What happens next
The responsible registry checks the request and explains any documents, payment or collection steps. Submitting a request does not itself issue a certificate.
Open the sandbox birth certificate request form. Record matching, eligibility, payment and certificate delivery arrangements still require confirmation.
